Buried Projects...


So yesterday afternoon while wading thru my yarn room I stumbled upon yet another unfinished project.

The Churchmouse Easy Fold Poncho click here for pattern info at Churchmouse Yarns. 

Thankfully most of it is done. There is a wee bit of knitting to do but that's the easy part.
The hard part of this project was knitting 60 inches of stockinette.

SIXTY INCHES.

By the time I got done with all 60 of those tedious mind numbing inches I couldn't even stand to look at it anymore.

So away it went.
I would stumble across it again from time to time and think you should really block that and get it done.

I didn't.
Either there was stuff on the dining room table or the guest bed had yarn on it or The Husband wanted to use our bed for sleeping.

Well as I was saying, I stumbled upon it yesterday and thought, the time has come, into the bath you go. 
Phoebe seemed a little bewildered by me tossing something besides myself into the tub, but it's also a full moon and she's being a bit weird.

After a solid 20 minute soak, I got out my blocking pads and stretched it across the guest bed only to discover that I have no idea what bin my knit blockers are in and I didn't have it in my to pull all of them out try and locate. 
the knit blockers are in here somewhere...
Like I said I was 'wading' thru my yarn room. A few months back my mom sent me a box weighing well over 70lbs full of yarn and all those bags are strewn about in my room waiting to be sorted and stored. 
I don't know where they will be stored but they are waiting.

So it's currently layed out, not pinned because I also discovered that I am lacking in T-pins.
It's fine though. I have to do it again after I do the sewing and the picking up the cowl neck collar.


So you know what I'll be doing this weekend once it dries and I can have my way with it.

Sewing it up. I hate sewing up knits.

It'll be worth it. It's the best green that Dream In Color ever did. I love it and I am not a lover of the color green.

Seriously. I know the room is a hot mess and a half. I showed a friend today the picture and she visibly shuddered and the offered to organize it. 

Happy Friday :)

We all have those spots of hot messes. When your friend is done helping you please send her my way.

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

Spring Cleaning = no VK Live

I don't get a cleaning bug often. I truly dislike it. I would rather knit than scrub a toilet or polish something... But it happens that I get the urge to purge (too much listening to the Top Gun soundtrack this weekend) and when the momentum is high and lasts three days I won't fight it... I can't. Plus I probably saved at least $250.00 by not going to a knitting expo! Have you ever done a big ruthless purge on your stuff? You can learn a lot about who you are or who you have been... 1. I apparently have an affection for lined notebooks and notepads considering I've counted 17 in my living room alone. 2. I easily have 50+ knitting books on my shelf and have only knit one pattern from one of them. 3. 2011 I was a grumpy snot at Christmas. So grumpy I didn't even open any Christmas cards. I didn't thrown them out either apparently... I'll open them later today. 4. My sister-in-law M gives me some pretty awesome gifts. Funny notebooks (o...

quirks, questions, and things best remembered......

1. Two bads never ever equal a better. 2. Muffins or Cupcakes I will always eat the top last. D thought it would be funny one time to teach me a lesson regarding this little nuance of my behavior, so at a party he sees my cupcake top sitting on my plate and he walks by and quick stuffs it in his mouth. He said it was to teach me a lesson, but I think we all know who learned a lesson that night. 3. While it is always to have good oral hygiene habits for both man and beast alike I would like to strongly caution you against keeping the beasts tooth paste next to your own toothpaste. Trust me when I say the beast will get much more enjoyment from your toothpaste gracing his brushes bristles than you will trying to do a massive mouthwash flush of poultry flavored peppermint paste. Learn from my mistake...... 4. I always feel sorry for people who I either happen to be talking to or emailing at the moment my medication kicks in. It can't be fun, but you all are such good sports about it. ...
